Occupational health and safety in manufacturing companies have become increasingly important in recent years. Today it should be seen as a part of the job rather than an annoyance. Manufacturing processes have gained in complexity, and resulting pollutants have become smaller and particularly more exotic. “From chipping come chips” is a popular saying.

Major DRAM makers Micron, SK Hynix, and Samsung have announced versions of stacked memory with through silicon vias (TSVs) for high-performance applications. Some CMOS image sensors are also in production with die stacking and TSVs. The remaining question is what is holding back the expansion of 3D IC in other applications?

Printed Electronics is an old embryonic technology. It is an umbrella term used to describe electronics that can be flexible, printed and/or based on organic materials. It consists of a wide range of enabling technologies, each at different points of maturity, growth and development. The snap shot view in 2014 is shown in the following chart, based on research conducted by IDTechEx.

Electronic equipment demand improved selectively in late 2014 as China/Taiwan reached record high output. Taiwan-listed OEMs reported a November 2014/Nov 2013 sales increase of 7% as Taiwan ODM company’s November revenues rose 11%. Both these company groups do significant manufacturing in China.

The last two columns focused on electronic component issues related to solderless assembly for electronics (SAFE). They stressed the importance of making thoughtful, proactive decisions in component selection rather than reactive ones, or using whatever happens to pop up first in a component search.

When I tell people that I am a practitioner of physics of failure, the response is typically predictable: I either get a blank look, or a large smile breaks out as if landsman has been discovered after many years in the wilderness. What is physics of failure? In some respects, that is a good question. Historically, there are some nice academic definitions that will tend to put you to sleep.
